Schmalkalden-Meiningen: 1.5 million euros for schools during the summer vacation!

In the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district, a lot has happened during the summer vacation. The district invests vigorously in schools and ensures that the students and teachers can learn in better -designed rooms in the new school year. Around 1.5 million euros flow into various projects that are firmly planned with a total budget of 8.4 million euros in the financial year. These investments include both renovations and energetic improvements. Particular attention is paid to the primary school "Ludwig Chronegk" in Meiningen, where a new school garden facility is planned. Insuedthueringen reports that…

The school garden is equipped with six raised beds that house not only vegetables, but also garden and medicinal herbs. For this purpose, a water cistern is installed that stores the precious rainwater - a nice step towards sustainability!

And for the break breaks, the free play area with new asphalt paintings and new play equipment is upgraded to offer the children more freedom of movement and play opportunities.
